'Blandula, Tenulla, Vagula'

© Ezra Pound

Soul, if She meet us there, will any rumour
Of havens more high and courts desirable
Lure us beyond the cloudy peak of Riva ?

© Samuel Rogers

I am in Rome!  Oft as the morning-ray
Visits these eyes, waking at once I cry,
Whence this excess of joy?  What has befallen me?
And from within a thrilling voice replies,

Geraint And Enid

© Alfred Tennyson

Then Enid pondered in her heart, and said:
'I will go back a little to my lord,
And I will tell him all their caitiff talk;
For, be he wroth even to slaying me,
Far liefer by his dear hand had I die,
Than that my lord should suffer loss or shame.'

The Creek of the Four Graves [Early Version]

© Charles Harpur

  And feeling thus by habit, that poor man
Though the black shadow of untimely death
Hopelessly thickened under every stroke,
Upstruggled desperate, until at last,
One, as in mercy, gave him to the dust,
With all his sorrows.

Andy Veto

In Carissimam Memoriam A.S.P.

To whom but thee, my youth to dedicate,
My youth, which these few leaves have sought to save,
Should I now come, although I come too late,
Alas! and can but lay them on thy grave?

Westward

© Robert Laurence Binyon

I found my Love among the fern. She slept.
My shadow stole across her, as I stept
More lightly and slowly, seeing her pillowed so
In the short--turfed and shelving green hollow

Understand That This Is A Dream

© Allen Ginsberg

first dream that made me take down my pants
urgently to show the cars / auto tracks / rolling down avenue hill.
That far back what do I remember / but the face of the leader of the gang
was blond / that loved me / one day on the steps of his house blocks away
all afternoon I told him about my magic Spell
I can do anything I want / palaces millions / chemistry sets / chicken

The Farmer's Boy - Spring

© Robert Bloomfield

Down, indignation! hence, ideas foul!
Away the shocking image from my soul!
Let kindlier visitants attend my way,
Beneath approaching _Summer's_ fervid ray;
Nor thankless glooms obtrude, nor cares annoy,
Whilst the sweet theme is _universal joy_.

Oft to this spot our steps we'll bend,
  And call it Friendship's shrine.

  Suche waiwarde waies hath love that moste parte in discorde; 

Our willes do stand wherby our hartes but seldom dooth accorde.
